Jebediah

You conspire

To be the fire

On the pedestal


I see right through you

And tell it to you

I know what you want

and you are a fool


Go the distance

Feel resistance

Back to business

A supplement for you

and your outdated life


Triumph hardly

Be foolhardy

And return

To your little hovel


Jebediah

Down to the wire

Are you on fire?

That's more than just a little spark


Ham-fisted rumour

Fat twisted humour

A cut that is only

Skin deep


Learn yourself

Through metaphors

View the very ground

As a weapon of war


Jebediah

Lookin' spryer

You've been fired?

Well it's back to the drawing board


Left alone

Without a home

Mind your dome

Glass shatters

When there's too many cracks


Enough subjective

Barely objective

Feeling protective

Not quite effective

It's enough to let you lose your mind


No end in sight

Die as you might

It'll be alright

Before the eyes flood with black


Jebediah

Ascended higher

Safe from fire

Now where shall the rest of us go?
